Article: Bad Amazon – Kindle Matchbook

by

The link below is to an article that takes a different approach to Kindle Matchbook and once again Amazon is the bad boy. You can always find some reason to bash Amazon, but I remain a fan and I don’t see any great issue with Kindle Matchbook. It seeks to look after the customer/reader, and perhaps that is the real issue for publishers. I think most publishers have had an issue with looking after their customers/readers, so it’s really no surprise that this would be a something they take issue with.
